Hands on with the iPad Handstand

by Mark R

Some of you might remember when we reported on the iPad Strap. At the risk of sounding cliche, I would say that the Handstand for the iPad is the iPad Strap on crack.

Actually, it’s the iPad Strap on some type of drug that makes you spin. The iPad Strap is a good way of keeping only one hand affixed to the iPad, so it can be used like a portable presentation board. The Handstand does that, but it allows you to spin the iPad on an axis with the hub at your palm. You can watch a video of it in action after the jump.

The spinning is good for quick switch of portrait and landscape views, and the Handstand is made of a molded polyurethane that is perfect for taking abuse. All the user has to do is pop the iPad in, and all the holes are in the right place on the side. (At least for the iPad original version, I have no idea how compatible this is with an iPad 2.)

For those that want to get a grip on their iPad, this might be the product for you. It is a little more costly than the iPad Strap, but you can purchase it for yourself on the official Handstand site for $49.95.
